Can EC chemo aggravate pain

Sorry if I’m repeating myself :hear_no_evil:
I as diagnosed with stage 3 grade 2 in august. Had left side mastectomy with 4/17 positive lymph nodes on removal. Just had third dose of EC chemo. Having moderate pain around right ribs and pain can radiate out to soft tissue. I first noticed a more slight niggle on right side at time of diagnosis in august. Surgeon said it could be stress. CT and bone scan in September negative. I’m much more aware of the discomfort in right side now and am worried of spread. I’m not sure if anyone has had anything similar with a reassuring outcome? X
